In order to park in Telluride during the trial, please place the juror summons face up (showing your name) on the dashboard of your vehicle. If selected to serve for the trial, the court will provide you with additional parking permits.

If you do NOT display your summons, you are subject to being ticketed or towed. If you have lost your summons prior to the trial date, please contact the Jury Commissioner at (970) 369-3300 option 4 for further instructions.
